Absolutely loved this hotel. My husband and I went for a Valentine’s Day weekend and we absolutely loved the location, the room and the staff. All of the staff were extremely nice and helpful. The rooms weren’t at all super modern but it didn’t matter, the vintage feel was just as good.

Staff was fabulous. Room was clean. The room was not a balcony room tho, which I thought I had registered for. We were on the first floor and it was noisy due to nighttime traffic in the Gaslamp district. The room was comfortable, as was the bed. Nice shower and soaps, etc. Great pillows!! The sheets were old, not real fresh smelling and the bed sheets had tiny little balls of worn fabric threads, the type that form when the sheets are really old. We appreciated the 2 free beverages in the bar upon our arrival.Valet was full when we got there, so my husband ended up parking several blocks away. But, like I said, the staff was very kind and delightful to speak with. Would stay again, I think, but only if it’s on a second or third floor!

Good location close to dining and entertainment. Hotel looks good on the outside but our room was very small and rather poorly maintained. No free breakfast and valet parking is very expensive.

I loved the historic charm, however there were several things that really needed to be updated. There is a difference between historic charm and old/falling apart. I would suggest making sure that things are still well-maintained.

Great location for bars, restaurants and nightlife. Nice easy walk to gorgeous seafront too. However this is a hotel relying on its former glory - feels unloved and in need of tlc. A bar that closes at 10pm, no breakfast option - not even a coffee during the day. Staff pleasant enough - usually - but watched us load our bags onto trolley and drag via lift to room with no offer to help. No one obvious in charge. A shame - it could be so much better with very little extra effort.
